In the "Overland China Mail this week, readers will find a "story" about a man confessing to putting water in milk. His doing so would not cause a furore in other parts of the world. Not unless people knew how valuable water is in Hong Kong at the moment.
Both from the lighter side, and with full details of the gravity of the serious problem facing the community, the water shortage has been written up for the "Overland." If you, in the strain of the last few days, have forgotten to write Home and you altribute your lapse to not being able to get a bath, support your claim by sending a copy of the "Overland" so that your friends will know all about the water famine here.
Naturally, "water" occupies the most important place in the current number of the "Overland." But it should be
